So we now have:
computer
VHF radio
hand held VHF
stereo
MP3 player
GPS
S.P.O.T. gps check-in/emergency locater
chartplotter
autopilot (Thanks CPT autopilot!)
solar panels
This list seems shorter than I thought it would. Keep in mind I also need to make sure they function properly, and that WE function properly in unison with them. Make sure the maps are correct, we have batteries, and chargers for everything.
Oh, and they all have to "talk" to each other! Exciting to have new toys, but a little overwheming to get them all together!
From what I've seen, most cruising boats have MUCH more in the way of electronic devices, but that is just much more to go wrong. Now that we have our autopilot, we are pretty comfortable with how the boat is outfitted. It would not be fun to hand steer the boat all the way to Mexico.
